This CL is in part a proposal for how to write these sections:
- Brief discussion of change
- No attempt to analyze the thinking about it
- Old code
- New code, runnable if possible
- How to update old programs

No content yet other than titles and an introductory paragraph.
Once this is in, content can arise as separate manageable CLs.

All but 3 cases (in gcimporter.go and hixie.go)
are automatic conversions using gofix.
No attempt is made to use the new Append functions
even though there are definitely opportunities.

This has always been true, but we lost it from the spec
somewhere along the way, probably when we disallowed
the general 'pointer to anything sliceable' slice case.

The special case in the spec is that you can take the
address of a composite literal using the & operator.
A composite literal is not, however, generally addressable,
and the slice operator requires an addressable argument,
so [3]int{1,2,3}[:] is invalid. This tutorial code and one bug
report are the only places in the tree where it appears.

To structure larger sections of comments in html output headings
are detected in comments and formated as h3 in the generated html.
A simple heuristic is used to detect headings in comments:
A heading is a non-blank, non-indented line preceded by a blank
line. It is followed by a blank and a non-blank, non-indented line.
A heading must start with an uppercase letter and end with a letter,
digit or a colon. A heading may not contain punctuation characters.

The Set type is gone. Instead, templates are automatically associated by
being parsed together; nested definitions implicitly create associations.
Only associated templates can invoke one another.
This approach dramatically reduces the breadth of the construction API.
For now, html/template is deleted from src/pkg/Makefile, so this can
be checked in. Nothing in the tree depends on it. It will be updated next.

The allowed conversions before and after are:
type Tstring string
type Tbyte []byte
type Trune []rune
string <-> string // ok
string <-> []byte // ok
string <-> []rune // ok
string <-> Tstring // ok
string <-> Tbyte // was illegal, now ok
string <-> Trune // was illegal, now ok
Tstring <-> string // ok
Tstring <-> []byte // ok
Tstring <-> []rune // ok
Tstring <-> Tstring // ok
Tstring <-> Tbyte // was illegal, now ok
Tstring <-> Trune // was illegal, now ok
Update spec, compiler, tests. Use in a few packages.
We agreed on this a few months ago but never implemented it.
Fixes#1707.

An experiment: allow structs to be copied even if they
contain unexported fields. This gives packages the
ability to return opaque values in their APIs, like reflect
does for reflect.Value but without the kludgy hacks reflect
resorts to.
In general, we trust programmers not to do silly things
like *x = *y on a package's struct pointers, just as we trust
programmers not to do unicode.Letter = unicode.Digit,
but packages that want a harder guarantee can introduce
an extra level of indirection, like in the changes to os.File
in this CL or by using an interface type.
All in one CL so that it can be rolled back more easily if
we decide this is a bad idea.

- syscall (not os) now defines the Errno type.
- the low-level assembly functions Syscall, Syscall6, and so on
return Errno, not uintptr
- syscall wrappers all return error, not uintptr.

This contains the files that required handiwork, mostly
Makefiles with updated TARGs, plus the two packages
with modified package names.
html/template/doc.go needs a separate edit pass.
test/fixedbugs/bug358.go is not legal go so gofix fails on it.
